So I currently have a Ring Pro2 doorbell but I am designing a whole home system based a Ubiquiti switch for PoE. I am trying to maintain an ecosystem that is all integrated for my whole home. So far the Ring system is appealing as I can easily combine the security system with the cameras, app smokealarms,etc.
My dilemma however is that I am not super impressed with my Pro 2 doorbells image quality and I am not sure if I want to fully invest in Ring or diversify my plan. I am planning 4-6 camera’s , 2 outdoor and 4 indoor probably, and all will be PoE. Is the image quality that much better on the competition like Relink, Arlo, Ubiquiti, etc.? I would like to be able to actually read the license plate of the creepy SUV parking in front of my house vs just a blur. As this keeps happening as crime is going up in my area. Just for context, I am a network engineer to all the cameras will be wired on pre-existing drops and ran off a managed PoE switch, so Wifi or power is not an issue.
I will probably keep the Ring security system so I need to know if having to use an extra app to access my video is worth it or is the difference negligible and they are all a little grainy. Conversely if there is an another great security system that integrates easily to replace Ring I can look at that as well. So far based on pricing and features for cloud NVR, Ring seems to be the best on paper but someone must have clearer video.
Thanks
